Cameras won’t be allowed in Monday’s preliminary hearing to determine if R&B singer Chris Brown will have to stand trial for an alleged attack on pop singer Rihanna in Hancock Park, court officials said today.

Courtroom artists, however, will be allowed to sketch the proceeding.

Brown is accused of assaulting and threatening his then-girlfriend, pop star Rihanna, after a pre-Grammy Awards party early Feb. 8.

Brown’s attorney, Mark Geragos, had asked the state’s highest court to intervene after the 2nd District Court of Appeal turned down his request for personnel files of Los Angeles police personnel involved in the case before the hearing.

Geragos had appealed a Los Angeles Superior Court judge’s decision last month to deny his request for the files.

At the May 28 hearing, Judge Patricia Schnegg told Geragos he could seek the information again after the preliminary hearing.

Brown, 20, was charged March 5 with one felony count each of assault by means likely to produce great bodily injury and criminal threats.

He is accused of assaulting and threatening his then-girlfriend during an argument that began around 12:30 a.m. Feb. 8, while the couple were in a rented Lamborghini on North June Street near First Street.

At the time, the two were en route to a home in the Hancock Park area following a pre-Grammy Awards party.

Brown surrendered to police hours later and was freed after posting $50,000 bail.
